| Are dearer than the level peace | B |
| That lies unstirred at summer's heart | A |
| - | |
| More dear to me the shadowed world | C |
| Where with report of tempest rife | D |
| The air intensifies with life | D |
| Than quiet fields of summer's gold | E |
| - | |
| I am the winds' admitted friend | F |
| I share those ancient mysteries | G |
| They whisper to the trembling trees | G |
| Or roar along the heavens' end | F |
| - | |
| And when my spirit listless stands | H |
| With folded wings that do not live | I |
| Their own assuageless wings they give | J |
| To lift her from the stirless lands | H |
| - | |
| Within the place unmanifest | F |
| Where central Truth is immanent | F |
| Lies there a vast entire content | F |
| Of sound and movement one in rest | F |
| - | |
| I Know not this yet in my heart | F |
| I feel that where all truths concur | K |
| The shrine is peaceless with the stir | K |
| Of winds that enter and depart | F |
